Celestina Day 2 chapters 3-6

Chapter 3
I think this quote gives an interesting perspective on what men will do for love. This quote goes to point out how men become so completely enamored with the person that they want, that they begin to embody a pain for when they are not together. For Calisto, the foolish love that he has for Melibea is to the extent that he has actually manifested a physical illness over it. Calisto also wants to be with her immediately. This hold true for the second part of the quote, where men will put their feelings into immediate action. Calisto is already “hiring” Celestina to arrange the love between the two of them so they can share their love together.

Chptr 5
Celestina manages to convince Sempronio that he will get his fair share of the wealth even though he has some concerns about her. He fears that she is just trying to use him to get more money out of him. Although I believe Celestina is a liar, and is extremely untrustworthy, I think that she may actually want to work with Sempronio. She seems to treat him with respect and honesty, and although she may not share the wealth with him equally, I believe she will cut him into the deal.
